Dear Parents with Phil Boucher, M.D.

Parenting is noisy. Advice is endless. And most of it isn’t built for real life.

Dear Parents: Science-Based Parenting for the Real World is a podcast for parents who want grounded, evidence-informed guidance without fear, guilt, or extremes.

Hosted by pediatrician and father of 6, Phil Boucher, each episode tackles common parenting challenges—behavior, discipline, emotional regulation, screens, ADHD, and family rhythms—through a practical, compassionate, science-based lens.

This isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about helping you feel calmer, more confident, and better equipped to raise kids in the real world.
